Butcher Bob

I've been debating building this thread here for a while now. Finally I thought, eh, why not...it'll give me something to work on.
There are plenty of "lists" on-line of movies to watch when tripping, but I've always thought they were hit or miss and often overlooked really good ones. So over the last couple years, I've been developing my own list, which is just a few shy of 100 now. For each movie I try to explain why I think it's good, because not all movies are for everyone...tastes vary. I'll also try to provide a trailer, links to freebie sites for the full movie (if possible), and indicate if it is available on streaming services that you may already subscribe to. This is all posted elsewhere, but instead of just making one big dump, I'm going to try to spread it out over a regular basis because it's an ongoing project. That will allow me the time to do revisions and check all the links to make sure they work...copyright often gets freebie links canned. Let's get started with the first three...
Stuff to watch on mushrooms...
...aka... Bob's trippin'
I think we're all aware of the wonders of tripping in nature...so many visuals to amaze us.
But, the weather is not always conducive...and sometimes we might not feel like tripping outside.
Many times I feel like grabbing a comfy couch, turning off the lights, and finding something stimulating to watch on the TV.
There are many qualities that contribute to an enjoyable experience, but overall what I look for is something surreal.
I'll start with one that lays down a pretty good example of what I'm referring to...
...good music, sharp and high contrast color, stellar cinematography, a storyline that steps outside reality...
Sucker Punch (2011)

Full movie:
...or...
...or can be rented on a few streaming services.
I kind of use that as a benchmark, both as to how and when it was made.
Generally speaking, older productions don't have the same quality as modern techniques afford.
You can still find older gems, they're just not as frequent.
On a recent trip I was surprised how well this one held up...
The Fifth Element (1997)
Trailer:
Full movie:
...or...
...or...
...or...
...or can be seen/rented on numerous streaming services.
While there are certainly more goldies out there, newer ones are more prevalent.
Technical production quality has increased significantly, and the cost has dropped.
You no longer need huge box office success to garner a good surrealistic experience...
